Nicole Belle wrote about “Hot Coffee” back in October, and I wrote about it on my own blog a year ago.
In case you didn’t already know, the movie uses the famous McDonald’s hot coffee jury award as a starting point — you know, the one that was pushed by the media as an example of reckless juries and people not taking responsibility for themselves?
What they didn’t tell you was how severely the victim was burned — and that several other court rulings instructed McDonald’s to lower their coffee temperature, which the company ignored.
